Free Templates

Right Information, Right Time

Templates are an important component of any workflow.

They help you to gather the right information,

structure your thinking, and share valuable insights at the right time.

They are an important tool to support your process.

Below you will find 5 great free templates from the Project Excellence PM Playbook created by the ProjExc Team, as well as links to other great templates on the web:

PM Playbook: Project Initiation Document (PID) Template,

PM Playbook: Project Management Plan (PMP) Template,

PM Playbook: Project Progress Report (PPR) Template,

PM Playbook: Project Change Form (PC) Template, and

PM Playbook: Project Completion Report (PCR) Template.


It’s important to note that the templates from the Project Excellence PM Playbook are generic templates. They are useful for all kinds of project, and are intended to be scalable - the more complex the project, the greater the level of detail needed.

The UK DTI offers some archived free templates for:
Business Plan, Project Brief, Project Initiation Document (PID), Quality Plan, Progress Report, Highlight Report, Issue Log, Change Request Log and Risk Management. They are consistent with PRINCE2.
